A picturesque period cottage and timeless tribute to the past, 'Digger's Rest' is a character abode of heritage charm on a private flood-free parcel.
Built in 1919 within the Magee Estate for Private Richard James Jones 16th Battalion, AIF, this piece of Brisbane history is one of only six historic brick homes constructed by the War Service Homes Commission for servicemen returning from World War I.
Renovated and restored to pay homage to the past while infusing modern liveability and contemporary appeal, the house creates a harmonious blend of old and new behind a storybook frontage on 450sqm.
Capturing a character essence, the bullnose verandah with Victorian wrought iron balustrades opens to interiors featuring 3m+ ceilings, casement windows and French doors accented by gorgeous tiles, plush curtains and Roman blinds.
Two living rooms provide distinct separation within the home and extend into the kitchen, displaying a charming aesthetic with feature brick walls and pressed metal tiles alongside soft-close drawers, stone benchtops, a Bosch dishwasher and a Falcon oven/stove.
The dining/alfresco room blurs the lines between inside and out with screened blinds and bi-fold doors opening to the outdoor area where you can enjoy firepits, BBQs and parties in the summer sunshine. The front verandah offers an alternative spot to sit and sip coffee or wine as you unwind and admire the easy-care gardens and child-friendly yard resting behind the secure fence.
All three bedrooms feature wardrobes and access to the two stylish bathrooms, including one with a laundry and the second with a stunning marble benchtop and a shower-over-bath.
Additional property features:
- Remote-control double carport; rear garden shed
- Built-in robes in all bedrooms; great internal storage
- Air-conditioning in two bedrooms; ceiling fans throughout
